How to solve Meowdoku Level 55

Solving Level 55 comes down to one opening move. On this 9Γ—9 board the amber region is boxed in at 3 cells, which pins its cat to row 2, column 1 before anything else is decided. From there the eliminations do the work, region after region, until the wide-open violet region takes the final cat β€” no step below relies on a guess. (If your in-app Level 55 looks different, apply the same opening idea to your layout.)

  1. 1

    amber region β†’ row 2, column 1

    Start with the amber region: every other square in it already shares a row or column with a cat placed elsewhere, so its cat lands on row 2, column 1.

  2. 2

    indigo region β†’ row 7, column 2

    The indigo region resolves next β€” only row 7, column 2 avoids sharing a row or column with an already-placed cat.

  3. 3

    red region β†’ row 9, column 9

    In the red region, row 9, column 9 is the last square that doesn't clash with another cat's line, so place the cat there.

  4. 4

    emerald region β†’ row 1, column 4

    That forces the emerald region: its remaining squares all touch a placed cat or share its row or column, leaving row 1, column 4.

  5. 5

    green region β†’ row 8, column 7

    Next comes the green region β€” every square but row 8, column 7 is ruled out by an existing cat's row, column, or corner.

  6. 6

    blue region β†’ row 4, column 3

    The blue region resolves next β€” only row 4, column 3 avoids sharing a row or column with an already-placed cat.

  7. 7

    pink region β†’ row 3, column 6

    In the pink region, row 3, column 6 is the last square that doesn't clash with another cat's line, so place the cat there.

  8. 8

    orange region β†’ row 5, column 8

    That forces the orange region: its remaining squares all touch a placed cat or share its row or column, leaving row 5, column 8.

  9. 9

    violet region β†’ row 6, column 5

    Next comes the violet region β€” every square but row 6, column 5 is ruled out by an existing cat's row, column, or corner.

Common Level 55 Mistakes to Avoid

Mind the gap in rows 8–9

Cats in rows 8 and 9 land only 2 columns apart (columns 7 and 9), the narrowest gap on the board. Double-check the diagonal between them before you commit β€” a single column off here and the two cats would illegally touch.

Leave the biggest region for last

Early on, almost any violet square looks legal β€” that's the trap of a 17-cell region. Work everywhere else first: each cat you place elsewhere deletes violet options, and the last square standing is the answer.

Lock the corner first

The red region's cat is pinned to the bottom-right corner (row 9, column 9). Corners have the fewest neighbors, so this is your safest opening anchor β€” misread it and the error spreads across the whole board.

How to Solve Level 55 Faster

Open where it's tightest

Start with the amber region (row 2, column 1). It has the fewest open squares, so it forces a cat with zero guesswork β€” the natural first move on this board.

Eliminate, then chain

The board solves itself if you bookkeep: after every cat, cross off its row, column, region, and ring of eight neighbors. Done in order, indigo collapses next, red follows, and no later region ever offers more than one legal cell.

Endgame: the violet region

Save the violet region for last (row 6, column 5). By then every other row and column is taken, so its cat has exactly one home left.
